Interesting patch, but it should not be necessary if people just applied the simple rule: "When everything else fails, read the readme" I don't like the idea of encouraging people to read the readme *only* when they are explicitly told by a debian-specific error message. In other words: I think this feature is documented enough. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
